Situated squarely in the Great Plains, Kansas offers a quiet, relaxing life for seniors. Its wide-open spaces and lower-than-average cost of living make the Sunflower State a great retirement destination. With its endless skies and yellow, flowing grasslands, the blank canvas of the Kansas landscape brings a calming sense of liberation. While driving from Wichita to Kansas City, take a detour on the Flint Hills Scenic Byway to experience Tallgrass Prairie National Reserve — you’ll see why Kansas adopted “Home on the Range” as its official state anthem.
Currently, A Place for Mom partners with 195 senior living communities in Kansas that provide assisted living. Our Senior Living Advisors can provide you with a list of assisted living communities in Kansas to help you find the ideal fit for your needs and budget.
In Kansas, the median monthly cost of assisted living is about $4,500, according to Genworth.
Assisted Living
Mom's 1st fall led to 9 weeks of pain and substandard care in rehab facilities and with her passing. During this 9 weeks it was decided that Mom and Dad would not be able to remain in their home of 50+ years and after extensive research Westchester Village was selected for their Assisted Living accommodations. We moved Dad in and Mom moved to their Skilled Nursing to complete her rehab but the falls and her illness won that battle. With Dad in Assisted Living, regulations prevented Mom from joining him for hospice. Rather than have her somewhere that he couldn't visit, Westchester Village made their on-premise apartment available for hospice which allowed Dad to spend as much time as possible with Mom at the end as well as providing extra space for my rather large family as we were also trying to provide comfort and support to Mom, Dad, and each other. Courtney O'Connor, Judy Baxter, and the staff at Westchester Village have been kind, gracious, and generous thru this difficult time
Read moreWe chose Park Meadows because of all of the amenities that they offered for the price. It is centrally located, there is a lot of food, shopping, hotels, doctors offices, etc. that are close by. I think the room sizes are good, but he thinks they are a little on the smaller side after moving out of his larger condo. I would definitely recommend this facility to others who are looking.
Read moreOne thing that really stuck out to us about Homestead of Olathe is after the first year of self pay they take Medicaid. It is a smaller place so residents are able to form closer relationships. I really liked the way they are set up, they have one building for independent living and assisted living and if they need extended Alzheimer's care, they have a separate building adjacent to the other building and it is set up exactly like the main facility so the residents are not confused or lost. I am very close with the administrative staff, they are super helpful and I feel like we are a team. I like that it is not a locked facility, it has a code entry which works great for the families. My mom is so happy here and says she has no complaints. If I had to go somewhere where I needed care, I would go here. I cannot say enough good about them, they are truly a Godsend.

Planning ahead can better position you to make good choices for your loved one’s care in the future. But if your aging family member needs care now, there are ways to finance the cost of long-term care through a combination of approaches.
Assisted living is long-term care for seniors who are generally active and independent, but who require increased supervision and help with some daily tasks. Staff can assist residents with activities of daily living like dressing, bathing, and medication management. Assisted living is also a good option for seniors seeking more socialization.
